Vanessa's Big Heart Foundation

Current & Upcoming Events:

Sunday, June 5th from 2-6pm at Faith West - Free Music Festival Event to promote and spread awareness of pediatric cardiomyopathy.

Vanessa's Big Heart Foundation was established in honor of our baby girl Vanessa Katherine Dale who passed away on April 7, 2005 from Dilated Cardiomyopathy (a rare heart condition that continues to be the leading reason for heart transplants in children).While our lives were turned completely inside out during this experience and we now have a void of a lost child to carry with us, we are determined to find the meaning and purpose of her having been in this world, or else we'll do a world of good in her name...while we seek the meaning and purpose.

Vanessa’s Big Heart Foundation is an exempt public charity under IRC Sec. 501(c)(3)

Vanessa’s Big Heart Foundation is committed to funding research into the causes and cures for pediatric heart disease. In the process we also hope to help "Little Kids With Big Hearts" better enjoy their lives. Each year Team "Big Heart" will run the Houston Marathon to raise money in support of this mission and to keep Vanessa's memory alive.
